Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, non-judgementally.

-Jon Kabat-Zinn

Life can feel like a race. Often, we move from task to task, and thought to thought, with high intensity and little time for a break. This can lead to the chronic dysregulation of the nervous system, which is an important factor in the development and persistence of chronic pain/symptoms.

Use this brief practice to press pause. The goal is to move from DOING (busy, productive, intense, analytical, striving) to simply BEING (present, curious, grounded, non-striving).

This daily practice helps the nervous system brake into a regulated state. The more you practice, the easier it gets!

Take a moment now, here, just to simply be.
